Inevitably the vegetarian pizza is preferred. My kids learned that the hard way today when at a luncheon party they managed a small slice of pizza and then the rest of the buzzards descended on the pepperoni... leaving them hungry.

Become vegan. When omnis see the pizza with no cheese, they stop for a minute with a deer-in-the-headlights expression, mutter, "THAT'S weird," and move right along to the standard veggie and meat pizzas. I rarely have competition.

Whenever I'm ordering pizza for an office function I always order extra vegetarian and there are never leftovers.

What is it with you carnivores anyway?

You wish! Any perceived preference for vegetarian pizza is purely imaginary. If there was any significant preference for a vegetarian pizza, the pizza joints would sell much more of it and most of their promotion imaging would feature vegetarian pizza. In reality, the meat features of a pizza are the central feature in adds and meat so far outsell the vegetarian pizzas that meat in pizza is generally considered the "standard".

I cannot ever recall having been to an event where there was any preference shown for vegetarian pizza except by the very rare odd duck who happens to be a vegetarian.

I've seen that happen in our office. There is one vegetarian and one non-declared. the rest of us eat anything that is not breathing or rotten.There are thirty of us.We will get one sheet pizza with pepperoni. We will get another with half mushrooms,and half just cheese. That is the first to go, despite 80% saying get cheese and pepperoni,when asked for order preference!Unsure what it means but it baffles me.

Sorry Grizzly as this may not help, but if you develop a penchant for anchovies, you are sure to get as much pizza as you like. I used to work nights and we would order one pizza with anchovies and one without. The anchovy haters would not even let us use the same knife on both pies!

I eat a VEGETARIAN when the good slices (i.e. anything within arms reach) run out. Basically, I crouch down, preferably downwind of them, and single out the sickest looking specimen. Tough chore as they all look pretty weak. If I have a partner, we can pretty much run them down lickety split. Working alone, takes me a little longer but my meat-fed muscles always prevail. Problem is, most are pretty scrawny so I have to work a couple of herds throughout the day.

Actually I will make a huge confession; I grew up in cattle country and in my youth (many decades ago) for fun, I got to be Miss North Dakota Angus Queen. I had the crown, banner, parade wave and everything. Today....I don't eat red meat.

BTW, I love Papa Murpy's Veggie Delight Pizza. If you haven't tried them you really should.

I think it is more that we Meat Eaters want it all.We aren't into sharing.It is like walkers versus runners: walkers sign up for a race and they can only walk.If they are caught running, they are DQ'd. Runners sign up to run, but we can walk if we so desire.

I'm eating my pizza and theirs. I agree with LT about anchovies.They are the kiss of death for me. That pie, I will not eat. Same with triple onions-looks like a wormy pizza that will make you reek for a week.

I ate ants when I was a kid. My friends were all guys, so I ate the ants but that was it. We could get Jeff or the King kids to eat anything, though. They had no reservations about any eating dares. Grasshoppers were the worst, way worse than worms.

Pizza would have been a treat back then.

California veggie pizza is fantastic. I think ours has chicken,though,locally.
